    Senior & Not So Senior Discounts

    / 8 Comments

    Senior & Not So Senior Discounts ****Updated**** In this day and age when the price of EVERYTHING seems to be on the rise, it’s always nice to be able to get a little bit of a break. As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy’s recently, I heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 …get 10% off everything on the menu, every day. (But you need to ASK for your senior discount.) This incident prompted me to do some…

    Two Southern Sweeties 5 Things To Do Before Getting Out Of Bed What if I told you there are 5 things you can do before getting out of bed that will change your day? Would you do them? Would you at least try doing them for a week or so? When I was younger I used to just pop out of bed and go about my day. It never occurred to me that there could be a proper or good way to start my day and that I wouldn’t even have to leave my bed to do it. Now that I am older, I try to do things at a…

    Perhaps you’ve heard of this thing called the Second Act and were wondering “What in the world is this whole “Second Act” thing? Well I am going to break it down for you in this post! There are many reasons that people find themselves in The Second Act of their lives. Below I have listed just a few. Divorce This was a big one for me personally.

    What Not To Wear After Age 50 – It Might Not Be What You Think

    / 47 Comments

    Google ” what not to wear after age 50 ” and you will have your pick of thousands of articles telling you what looks terrible on your “old body”. I want to point out to the writer who wrote the ‘no-no’ article, you need to remember you are writing for women after the age of 50, not preschoolers. I don’t think I’ve said ‘no-no’ since my youngest was a toddler. We could spend hours studying the clothes we shouldn’t wear after age 50 and the slang we shouldn’t use and the makeup techniques we need to retire. Here’s me, weighing in on this topic. You are over 50 for f*ck’s…
